By BAILEY POOLMANCNA staff [email protected]

Lyndsay Jo Huntsman, 44, of Creston was charged with ongoing criminal conduct and five counts of first-degree theft after turn-ing herself in Monday at Union County Law Enforcement Center.

The charges stem from a four-month investigation by Creston Police Department and Iowa De-partment of Criminal Investiga-tion (DCI).

A DCI report shows Hunts-man misappropriated more than $500,000 from Creston Automo-tive business accounts.

According to a Creston Police

report, between Jan. 1, 2010, and Dec. 31, 2014, Huntsman com-mitted multiple thefts for finan-cial gain on a continual basis, and knowing-ly acquired or maintained, directly or indirectly, interest in or control of real prop-erty through specified unlawful activity, theft or embezzlement of funds.

“With those five charges com-bined, it shows ongoing criminal conduct, so they’re able to charge the ongoing criminal conduct,” said Mike Motsinger, DCI special

agent in charge. “It was multiple thefts over a time period. During her employment, she made sever-al thefts.”

Each count of first-degree theft is for each year Huntsman misap-propriated property.

“Now it’s in the criminal courts, so they’ll set up a preliminary hearing date, and it’ll just pro-ceed through the court system,”

Motsinger said. “Once we hand it to the county attorney’s office, it falls in their hands, getting ev-erything lined up in the court sys-tem.”

Huntsman has been released on $25,000 bond.

Tim Kenyon, Union County attorney, said Huntsman’s initial appearance is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Friday, during which a pre-

liminary hearing will be sched-uled. Kenyon also explained the maximum sentencing for the charges.

“The theft, first, is what they call a class C felony, and that max-imum would be 10 years’ prison on each one. ... And the fine is $1,000 to $10,000, so that would be times five. So, that could be up to 50 years,” Kenyon said. “The other one is what they call a class B felony, and that carries a prison sentence maximum of 25 years, and there’s no fine on that. ... So, potentially, she’s looking at a maximum sentence of 75 years.”

Businessmen draft petition challenging franchise fee By KYLE WILSON CNA managing [email protected]

The city’s proposed fran-chise fee is receiving more resistance this week.

Creston businessmen have drafted a petition opposing the fee and Mike Tameri-us — co-owner of Precision Optical in Creston — said they’ve already collected enough signatures to hold a special election if Creston City Council does, in fact, de-cide to impose the fee. (Read more about the fee, right)

A special election would give citizens the chance to vote for or against the fran-chise fee.

“This petition is the col-lective effort of several businesses and industries as well as residential property owners who don’t feel like their voice was being heard,” Tamerius said. “We hope we don’t have to present this pe-tition to the council at all. We hope they look at other ways (to resolve budget issues) and let this die.”

Sandy Hysell, auditor in Union County, said 55 sig-natures were needed on this petition because only 548 people voted in the last city election (10 percent needed). Tamerius said more than 200 signatures have been collect-ed so far.

But, a special election doesn’t come without a price tag. Hysell estimated a spe-cial election would cost peti-tioners $5,000. Tamerius said 10 supporters have already committed financially to pay $500 each.

Tamerius said — if the

FRANCHISE FEE BACKGROUND This franchise fee would replace the 1-percent local-option sales tax (LOST) currently on your Alliant Energy bill.

The fee — if passed at two more readings — would increase all electric and natural gas bills in-side city limits including residential, industrial and commercial property. The only exemptions under the fee will be city-owned properties.

How much?The franchise fee was

originally proposed by the city at 5 percent on your bill, but was amended by Creston City Council pri-or to the first reading Jan. 20. The amended version would impose a 2 percent franchise fee on your Alli-ant Energy bill in October 2015, then will increase to 3 percent in April 2016, 4 percent in 2018 and 5 per-cent by 2020.

At the full 5 percent, some businesses would pay an extra $100,000 in utility costs each year while residential users would be looking at any-where from $50 to $300 extra annually.

Mike Taylor, city ad-ministrator, has said the franchise fee is needed during this difficult bud-get year because “reve-nue streams for cities are drying up and this is one way to capture additional revenue.”

The franchise fee would generate about $150,000 per percentage point meaning — at the full 5 percent — the city would receive about $600,000 in extra funding annually.Please see

double homicide in osceola

By AMY HANSEN OST news editor [email protected]

Four Osceola residents have been charged in connection with a double homicide that occurred in the Osceola area.

On Saturday, Jan. 24, at approx-imately 9:30 p.m., Osceola Police Department received a report of two persons who had gone missing during the evening hours on Fri-day, Jan. 23.

After further investigation, the two missing persons were located in a vehicle at 1305 255th Ave., Osceola, in rural northern Clarke County, deceased. It appears both victims died of gunshot wounds.

The following people have been charged in this case:

• Richard Ryan Lamb Car-son, 38, Osceola — two counts of first-degree murder.

• Lynn Ranean Sutton, 47, Osce-ola — one count of accessory after the fact.

• Tracy Kay Johnson, 43, Osce-ola — one count of accessory after the fact.

• Christopher Martin Elben, 42, Osceola — one count of accessory after the fact.

Accessory after the fact is a re-sult of the suspects helping the perpetrator after the crime had oc-curred.

The names of the deceased are being withheld pending notifica-tions of the family. An autopsy is being planned for today at the State Medical Examiner’s Office in Ankeny.

The victims were adult men in their early 20s.

The investigation is ongoing, however, it appears this is an iso-lated incident and the public is not in danger.

Press conferenceA press conference was held 11

a.m Monday, Jan. 26, at Clarke County Law Enforcement Center. It was led by Osceola Police Chief Marty Duffus, Clarke County Sher-iff Bill Kerns and Michael Motsing-er, a special agent in charge of Iowa Department of Criminal Investiga-tion.

Osceola Police Department is being assisted by Clarke County Sheriff’s Office and Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.

Duffus said Carson and the vic-tims are acquaintances. The victims were also acquaintances with each other.

Two of the suspects charged are boyfriend and girlfriend and the

DiscoveryAccording to Creston Po-

lice court documents, a Cres-ton Automotive employee approached another employ-ee Oct. 17 with questions about why a cash drawer was left out Oct. 16.

The employee was told Huntsman, office manager between 2006 and October 2014, had taken cash to de-posit on her way out of town and must have left the drawer out.

The employee then con-tacted the business’ bank and it was determined the cash had not been deposited.

Creston Police officers

were informed by Creston Automotive employees of suspicious and fraudulent ac-tivity Oct. 23.

A review of Creston Au-tomotive’s business account concluded the account was opened in 2006, and there had been daily cash deposits during the business week ex-cept on rare occasions.

The pattern continued until July 2008, when the cash de-posits reduced dramatically. Between 2010 and October 2014, there were less than 50 daily deposits each year.

According to court docu-ments, Huntsman had sole control of the business’ finan-cial account and related infor-mation.

Application for Iowa medical marijuana card now available

DES MOINES (AP) — Two state agencies say a process has been estab-lished to approve, admin-ister and generate registra-tion cards allowing the use of cannabis oil.

Following months of deliberation between Io-wa’s Department of Public Health and its Department of Transportation, the departments announced Monday an application form to obtain the card is now available online.

The Legislature last year approved a law permitting the possession and use of a

certain form of cannabis oil for patients with intracta-ble epilepsy.

Only patients and their primary caregivers can apply for the registration cards.

According to a news re-lease, the application re-quires a written recommen-dation from a neurologist.

Upon approval, the pa-tient or caregiver will re-ceive an official approval notification and informa-tion on how to get the card through the Transportation Department’s driver’s li-cense issuance sites.

council does approve the franchise fee in February — he would present the pe-tition to the Creston City Council at the following council meeting and then follow through with the re-quirements needed to hold a special election in the spring or summer this year.

“Realistically, the fran-chise fee will not pass a pub-lic vote,” Tamerius said.

Creston City Council will meet tonight for a 6 p.m. work session to discuss pos-sible cuts to the 2015-16

budget.The second and third

reading for the franchise fee are expected to be Feb. 3 and Feb. 17, respectively, at the council chambers in-side the restored Creston Depot.

The franchise fee must pass three readings before being adopted.

The first reading passed 4-3 earlier this month with Nancy Loudon, Gary Ly-barger, Marsha Wilson and Randy White voting in favor of the fee and Rich Madison, Ann Levine and Dave Koets voting against.

others were acquaintanc-es. Duffus said Carson and Johnson are the suspects who are in a relationship with each other.

“They’re all known to us,” Duffus said about the suspects’ past criminal his-tory.

Duffus said the investi-gation is still working on a motive for the homicide.

The victims were located Sunday night. Duffus said it’s unknown at this time if drugs were involved.

“A friend of theirs re-ported them missing, and then one of their sisters fol-lowed up with that report Saturday,” Duffus said.

DCI reportMotsinger said the sus-

pects were taken into custody without incident or resistance. He said he wouldn’t give many details about the murder weap-on, other than to say it has been recovered.

The DCI has been inves-tigating many locations in connection with the double homicide.

“So, being around town, different parts of the area,

it’s just part of the inves-tigation and gathering the evidence that we need to prosecute the people re-sponsible,” Motsinger said.

He said there was a resi-dence at the location of the main crime scene on 255th Avenue, but it isn’t occu-pied at this time.

Motsinger said law en-forcement has interviewed many people about the crime, which has led them to charging the suspects in-volved in the case.

“Any time you have a tragedy like this, I mean, you have a double homi-cide, luckily, for Iowa, that’s not a common occur-rence,” he said. “So, we do, obviously, take things seri-ously. We try to follow up every lead, bring everyone responsible to justice that are responsible for taking someone’s life. Obviously, living here in Iowa, it’s a great state, and luckily, we don’t have double homi-cides that occur very often. So, is it strange? Yes, but are we able to handle it and work through all the leads and follow through with the investigation, that’s what law enforcement does.”

Thoughts on the franchise fee from Mayor Warren Woods Franchise fee information: This

cannot be explained in a 30 sec-ond sound bite so please bear with me as you read this.

I’d like to explain the need for this fee (tax) something that probably should have been done when we started talking about the need several months ago. To clear up any misunderstanding about this tax, it would start Oct. 1 at 2 percent (actually a net 1 percent because the LOST tax currently collected on your gas and electric bill would go away). Then April 1, 2016, would increase to 3 percent (a net 2 percent), April 1, 2018, to 4 percent (net 3 percent) and fi-nally on April 1, 2020, to 5 percent (net 4 percent).

First, city budgets are not the easiest thing to understand. There are levy limitations on salary mon-ey spent for police, fire and some other salaries. This is called the $8.10 levy and the money received for this is currently $1,761,000. The one cent sales tax (LOST) is limited to one half of the revenue going to property tax relief and one half going to streets and sew-er repair and construction. LOST funds cannot be used for salaries to supplement the $8.10 levy. The franchise fee can be used for sal-aries.

The city currently supplements Road Use Tax Funds (RUTF) with LOST funds to do as much as possible to keep the streets in as good of shape as they are in. RUTF comes from the state and is paid for with state fuel taxes. This has not been raised since 1989 and the city receives nearly the same amount that it did many years ago

about $800,000 which was not sup-plemented with LOST funds but which during the early years was enough to keep streets in an ade-quate condition.

Hotel/Motel funds: The city of Creston currently receives $135,000 from the hotel/motel tax. One half of this money must be spent on tourism related activities, and the other half may go to the general fund, but again, cannot be spent on salaries for police, fire etc. Some of the tourism re-lated items paid for this year are: fireworks, tourism, visitor center, park and rec advertising, farmers’ market promotions, Crest Area Theatre, holiday lights and more. The total of these tourism related items are more than half of the ho-tel/motel taxes received, so some of these will have to be cut in or-der to help out the general fund.

The general fund is what you pay for in your property taxes. As I mentioned earlier only $8.10 per thousand dollars of valuation may be paid for salaries for police, fire and some others. One of the reasons that city employees enjoy decent benefits is that they can be paid for outside of this $8.10 levy. In other words, we can’t give much of a raise, but we can give better benefits. Almost every city in Iowa uses up the $8.10 levy and has for a number of years.

Our current general fund levy is

$13.95 per $1,000 of assessed prop-erty value after rollback for resi-dential. The money received from the general fund has remained mostly stagnant for the past 4 or 5 years.

As many of you know, the Iowa State Legislature passed Senate File 295 on the last day of the 2013 legislative session basically in the dark of night. This is billed as the largest property tax cut in Iowa history. The problem with this is that it is the cities, counties and schools who rely on property tax for their general fund money. This law rolls back all commercial and industrial property taxes 10 percent. Currently the state back fills most of this, but the provision says: “If the amount appropriated (by the legislature) is insufficient to pay all replacement claims, the director of revenue shall prorate the payment of claims.” There are at least two instances of the state failing to appropriate funds that were promised, one being the homestead exemption and two being the $3.9 million that were promised annually to help with the fire and police retirement fund (the so-called 411 fund). Senator Joe Bolkom from Iowa City and an opponent of this rollback is quoted as saying in February 2014, “I think there’s concern about the state revenues softening some and our ability to backfill our com-mitments to local governments,” he said. “We should be cautious in voting out more mandates on local governments. It sounds real good to pass tax cuts to homeown-ers and veterans. The Legislature hasn’t done a good job historically

in actually keeping its promises for those tax credits.”

SF 295 also included the pro-vision that property tax on all multi-family residential (a new property classification) proper-ties with 3 or more units will be rolled back in yearly increments to 95 percent, 90 percent, 86.25 per-cent, 82.5 percent, 78.75 percent, 75 percent, 71.25 percent, 67.5 percent, 63.75 percent and then to the residential amount currently 54 percent in the year 2022. This is not backfilled by the state and will cost the city a considerable amount of funds. Properties in this classification have not been iden-tified yet, so an exact dollar figure is not available but it does include every apartment building, assisted living facility, nursing home and many other facilities with three or more units.

The third part of this is that for business and industry, the first $145,000 of property valuation will be taxed not at 100 percent of valuation, but at 54.4 percent of valuation, the same as residen-tial. This takes effect Jan. 1, 2017, and is supposed to be backfilled by the state. My comment here is the same as for the 10 percent roll-back, and I quote Senator Bolkom, “I think there’s concern about the state revenues softening some and our ability to backfill our com-mitments to local governments,” he said. “We should be cautious in voting out more mandates on local governments. It sounds real good to pass tax cuts to homeown-ers and veterans. The Legislature hasn’t done a good job historically in actually keeping its promises for

those tax credits.”A gripe of mine with the 2013

legislature passing SF 295 which can only hurt cities and other property tax revenue dependent entities is that at that time SF 295 was passed the state was sitting on nearly one billion dollars in rainy day funds along with nearly one billion dollars in surplus dollars. Iowa ranks very high in income tax rates, and I believe that they should have lowered those rates instead of picking on us. The cit-ies and counties are the govern-ments closest to the people so it is we who bear the brunt of citizen’s ire when we need to receive more funds to do our jobs.

There have already been sig-nificant budget cuts such as re-moving any new lawn mowers, pick-ups, police car, and other needed equipment. The city coun-cil is meeting (or has met depend-ing upon when you read this) on Tuesday, Jan. 27, at 6 p.m. to dis-cuss further budget cuts. Your in-put is welcomed during the public forum.

There is information available that puts us in very good light as far as comparative city taxes and operating expenses and informa-tion on the Iowa Department of Management that contains infor-mation in spreadsheet format, if you would like more information on city taxes.

The gas and electric franchise documents and revenue purpose statement are located on the Cres-ton city website crestoniowa.gov, click on council agenda.

I welcome your civil comments and suggestions.

Jeff Gordon ending career after ‘15 Jeff Gordon, with a nag-

ging back i n j u r y , a young family he w a n t e d to spend more time with and a phenom waiting in the wings at Hendrick Mo-torsports, knew midway through last season that he had one more year in him.

NASCAR’s most char-ismatic driver, the man behind the wheel of the famed and sometimes feared No. 24, had decided it was time to call it quits on one of the most successful careers in motorsports his-tory. The four-time cham-pion conferred with Rick Hendrick, the only team owner he has had over 23 years of Sprint Cup racing,

and settled on a date.The 43-year-old Gordon

announced Thursday that 2015 will be his final sea-son as a full-time driver, saddening legions of fans, fellow drivers and others who watched him became the face of stock car rac-ing as the sport exploded in popularity a generation ago.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Gordon said he reached his deci-sion last summer. He had seen other drivers embark on distracting farewell tours, and he didn’t want to be that guy. Although he told his crew chief of his decision after narrow-ly missing out on shot at a fifth championship, it took time to settle on the day to tell the world.

It started with a conver-sation with his two young

children when they woke up for school. They wor-ried they won’t go to the race track anymore, that other kids might think of them differently if their father is not a famous race car driver.

The conversation with Ella and Leo made the de-cision a reality for Gordon — and he wept.

“Ella just stared at me, she’d never seen me cry like that before,” Gordon told AP. “After that, I se-riously broke down. It hit me like a ton of bricks, and I got so emotional and thought, ‘How am I going to get through this day?’”

Gordon said he sobbed during the entire 30-min-ute drive to Hendrick Mo-torsports, where he tear-fully informed his team and his longtime employ-ees of his decision.

PEOPLEPEOPLE

Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2015ARIES (March 21 to April

19) It’s easy to fall into worry mode today. Try not to do this. Remember: Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your financial scene might look depressing to you today. Do not worry. For starters, you are the financial wizard of the zodiac. Secondly, things look worse than they are today.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today the Moon is in your sign opposite stern Saturn. This can make you feel lonely and cut off from others. Give yourself a hug. Your relationships with others are not as strained as you think they are.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don’t let the doldrums get you down today, because it’s easy for this to happen. Many peo-ple feel unloved and unpopular because of the harsh aspects to the Moon.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Someone older might be criti-cal of your plans today. Don’t let anyone rain on your parade. Ignore their comments. Just believe in your own creative ideas.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a poor day to ask authority figures for permis-sion or approval for anything. Their reply will likely be, “Talk to the hand.” Oops. Bad move.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Avoid controversial subjects, especially with older, more experienced people. They might make you feel dimin-ished and insignificant — and you’re not. Oh well.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) If you work with others to decide how to share an inheri-tance or divide shared proper-ty, you might be disappointed with the results. This is not an ideal day to do this.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Relations with part-ners and close friends are a bit cool today because people are standoffish and uncertain about each other. Don’t take this seriously. By tomorrow, things are fine and friendly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Don’t be daunted by mat-ters at work today, because they look more difficult than they really are. The key is to believe that you can do it!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.

18) Romance is in the toilet today. Just accept this and don’t expect too much from others.

Tomorrow is much better! PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

Conversations with an older female relative might make you feel squelched or discour-aged. Don’t worry, because this is happening to many peo-ple today. Courage!

YOU BORN TODAY You are strong-willed and driven. When you want something,

you go after it! Many of you are vibrant well into your old age. It is your willpower that allows you to achieve great feats. You love to explore what is untried. This year is the beginning of a fresh, new nine-year cycle for you. Open any door! Start a new business activity.

Dear Readers: How many ELECTRONIC DEVIC-ES do you think are in your home? How many of them are you NOT using, but they might still be pulling power? Take a little stroll around your place and count. I just walked through our kitchen, den and rec room and counted 10. That’s in just three rooms. Ap-parently, the average house-hold has 25 electronic devices that use electricity.

All of these can be adding to your energy bill. Even if you aren’t using them, if they are plugged in, they can potential-ly use energy. If it has an LCD or LED display, meaning the numbers light up, it’s pulling power! Here are hints to make these “energy vampires” less powerful:

* Unplug devices you are not using or you don’t use dai-ly. For example: an old stereo or TV in a guest room.

* Use sleep modes on elec-tronics that have them. The device will “sleep” or power down, and will use less elec-tricity.

* Use power strips to con-trol multiple appliances with one off/on switch. Think kitch-en: coffee maker and toaster oven or toaster.

* When shopping for new electronics, look for the EN-ERGY STAR designation.

These are the most efficient and use less energy, so you are saving money while you sleep!

— HeloiseGUEST HINTDear Heloise: We live in

the beautiful Pacific North-west, we have rain, and we do not wear shoes in the house. For guests, I keep a basket of cute little pairs of ankle socks (tied with a bow) available in the entry. Our guests pick out a pair, and the socks are theirs to keep. The silly sock prints create a fun conversation, as everyone wants to see what the others are wearing. — Mary A., Vancouver, Wash.

LEAVING TOYSDear Heloise: In our neigh-

borhood, people often leave perfectly good items by the street to be picked up by the trash collector or others who may want them.

A couple of days ago, I noticed a small pink tricy-cle that was just right for my great-granddaughter. It was there the next day. I noticed several other toys in the drive-way that appeared to be for

the same age group. Possibly a 2-year-old had left her tri-cycle near the street. I suggest parents teach their toddlers that they could lose their toys if left near the street. — Doug J., Denham Springs, La.

WATER USEDear Heloise: Another use

I might suggest to conserve water is to store the gallons of water collected after cleaning the refrigerator filter. Put the water into clean gallon milk jugs and use it in a room hu-midifier. — Bruce M., San An-gelo, Texas

HELPFUL HINTDear Heloise: I use some

over-the-counter medicines. Most have childproof caps with arrows you line up in ad-vance to help in low light such as early morning or bedtime. I use a permanent marker on the arrows so it’s easy to get the bottles open regardless of light or glasses. — Steve J. in Alabama

Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Anto-nio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise(at)Hel-oise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column.

Smash: Creston firefighters prepare to leave the scene of an accident on West Adams Street 9:46 a.m. Monday. According to a Creston Police report, Keegan Wayne Williams, 18, 108 S. Sumner Ave., driving a 1999 Chrysler north on Peterson Street, said he stopped at the intersection of Peterson and West Adams streets, looked before pulling away from the stop sign, did not see a 2010 Chevrolet driven east on West Adams Street by Jerry Lee White, 77, 809 Quiet Harbor, and broadsided White’s vehicle. White’s vehicle spun almost a full 360-degrees and came to rest in the eastbound lane of West Adams Street. Damage estimates are $2,000 to Williams’ vehicle and $2,000 to White’s vehicle.

GREENFIELD — Nodaway Valley head coach Darrell Burmeister said he felt his team got back to Nodaway Valley basketball here Friday, despite dropping its fourth straight game in a 57-54 loss to Central Decatur.

Trailing 53-45 with less than 3:30 remaining in the game, Nodaway Valley staged a fu-rious comeback, having a shot to tie the game in the final sec-onds.

Nathan Andrews and Nate Venteicher knocked down 3-pointers and Tanner Arm-strong scored a basket after a David Schweitzer offensive rebound. Andrews made one of two free throws to cut Cen-tral Decatur’s lead to 57-54.

After freshman Carter Boothe missed the front end of a one and one with 12 sec-onds remaining in the game, the Wolverines had an oppor-tunity to tie the game.

Jackson Lamb, who fin-ished with 17 points, had to get rid of the ball and Schweitzer put up the last shot, which hit front iron. Central Decatur pulled down the rebound and ran out the final seconds of the clock for the win.

“We played a lot better than our previous three games,” Burmeister said. “We’re happy with that aspect of it. I thought we had better ball movement tonight, played better defense. Just came up a

little short at the end.”The Wolverines made 10

3-pointers in the game, but needed an 11th to force over-time.

Central Decatur built an 11-point lead at 40-29 midway through the third quarter, but Dallas Kreager came in off the bench and sank a 3-point-er for the Wolverines, spark-ing a run that saw Nodaway Valley get back to within 46-45 on a Jackson Lamb layup

and free throw.Four Wolverine players fin-

ished in double figures, led by Lamb’s 17 points. Andrews added 11 points and nine re-bounds, while Schweitzer and Venteicher each netted 10 points.

Panthers go cold late in loss to I-35 By SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

TRURO — After build-ing a 31-25 lead midway through the third quarter here Monday, the Creston girls basketball team went ice cold from the floor in a 46-40 loss to Interstate 35.

The Panthers scored just four points in a stretch that lasted from the 3-minute mark of the third quarter until the 4-minute mark of the fourth quarter, while In-terstate 35 started knocking down shots.

“When we got up 31-25, I thought we just need to keep this thing going,” Cres-ton head coach Brent Dou-ma said. “That’s when she (Slye Richardson) hit that three and we went from the 3-minute mark to the 4-min-ute mark and scored four points. That’s the difference in the game right there.”

Richardson’s three sparked Interstate 35, cut-ting the lead to 32-28. Four points by Gracey Griglione to end the quarter made it 33-32 going to the fourth.

Then Richardson, who scored a game-high 19 points, sank a 3-pointer to start the fourth and Riley

Morris dumped a pass over the top to Griglione on a high low play for a basket.

Brenna Baker answered with a shot from the corner to cut the Roadrunners’ lead to 37-35, but a Grigli-one offensive rebound and jumper made it 39-35.

Creston managed just five points over the final four minutes of the game. Interstate 35 survived four missed free throws from the 2:05-mark through the 58-second mark of the game, before Haley Schaf-fer hit two big free throws to give the Roadrunners cush-ion at 42-35.

Baker hit a 3-pointer from the corner to cut the lead back to four points with :35 left in the game, but In-terstate 35 shot 4-of-6 from the free throw line down the stretch.

“I thought we battled well,” Interstate 35 head coach Jamie Smith said. “We got off to a good start. Creston kind of picked it up a notch, which I thought they would. They’re well-coached. They bring some intensity. Fourth quarter, we stepped it up on defense, hit some shots, didn’t let 23 (Taylor Briley) into the lane

as much.”After Interstate 35 led

14-9 through one quarter, Briley was instrumental in Creston fighting back for a 22-20 halftime lead.

Briley scored 11 of her 15 points in the first half and s c o r e d six points during a 10-0 Cres-ton run. C a m m y R u t h e r -ford fin-ished with six points and 10 rebounds, while Jenna Tay-lor added nine points and eight boards.

The Panthers allowed just one made field goal in the second quarter after switch-ing to a 2-3 zone that moved side to side quickly, keeping Interstate 35 from working the ball inside.

“We switched up to a 2-3 zone during that time and I thought we were really active,” Douma said. “We really were aggressive. We were talking nicely. And we were holding them to one shot there for a while. Really, kind of took control of the game there. Good ef-

fort, just have to keep plug-ging away now.”

Creston dropped to 8-7

overall for the season and travels to Chariton tonight. Interstate 35 improved to

NV girls suffer POI setback By SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

GREENFIELD — A 19-11 third-quarter pushed Central Decatur past Nodaway Valley 60-48 here Friday, dropping the Wolverines two and a half games behind Pride of Iowa Conference leader Bed-ford.

The win improved Cen-tral Decatur to 10-1 in conference play, just a half game behind Bedford (11-1) in the conference stand-ings. Those two teams meet Friday night, in a game that could determine the con-ference championship.

Nodaway Valley dropped

to 8-3 in the conference, moving into a three-way tie with Interstate 35 and Mar-tensdale-St. Marys for third place.

Trailing 31-29 at halftime, Nodaway Valley forged a 33-33 tie early in the third quarter before Central De-catur jumped ahead 41-33 on a Lydia Martin rebound and putback.

Paige McElfish’s re-bound, putback and free throw cut the lead to 41-38, but Central Decatur ended the quarter on a 9-2 run, highlighted by a Lily Simon 3-pointer at the buzzer, to build a 50-40 lead.

“I really just feel like they wanted it worse than we did,” Nodaway Valley

head coach Tom Thomp-son said. “Every loose ball went their way tonight. They made that happen and we just kind of got caught standing flat footed. A little disappointed with our effort that second half.”

Nodaway Valley cut the led to six in the fourth quarter, but the Cardinals closed the game on a 10-4 run for the 60-48 victory.

The Wolverines started the game on a 12-2 run, as Jessica Nelson and Mer-cedes Harter each knocked down a 3-pointer, but the Cardinals fought back to tie the game at 18-18 with 5:27 left in the first half.

“Nodaway Valley came out of the gates red hot, we weren’t playing very good defense and they were killing us on the of-fensive boards,” Central Decatur head coach Cur-tis Boothe said. “I thought ‘here we go,’ so we made some tweaks. Weathered the storm the first quarter and got back into it second quarter.”

Josie Clarke led Nodaway Valley with 20 points, nine rebounds and three blocked shots. McElfish added 11 points with nine boards. Josie Car-ter scored nine points with four assists.

Hallie Linhart scored 19

Eagles’ 3-point barrage sinks Spartan men Kirkwood made 14 of 26

3-point shots and outscored Southwestern by 24 points in taking a 92-68 victory on the Spartans’ court Saturday afternoon.

The 12th-ranked Eagles were led by guard Matthew Lassen, who made 7-of-8 shots from behind the arc and 10-15 overall from the field in scoring a game-high 32 points.

Southwestern shot only 28 percent from behind the arc (6-21). The lone Spartan successful from the p e r i m e -ter was f reshman TJ Bow-er, who was 4-7 on 3-pointers in scoring a team-high 14 points.

Kirkwood improved to 16-4 overall and 3-1 in a first-place tie with DMACC atop the conference, after DMACC lost 92-90 to Iowa Central in double overtime Saturday. Southwestern falls to 15-6 overall and 1-3 in league play.

“Six or seven minutes in it was a 14-10 game,” said SWCC coach Todd Lo-rensen. “Two or three times we had a defensive rebound in our hands, and they took it away from us. That’s nine points. Then they hit a three in transition after we took a bad shot. We’re not losing to bad teams, but obviously we have to get better.”

Wednesday night is a good opportunity as NIACC (12-9, 3-2) visits Southwest-ern for a 7:30 p.m. tipoff. The Spartans travel to Iowa Lakes (10-9, 0-4) Saturday.

“It’s a big week for us,”

Lorensen said.KIRKWOOD (92) — Matthew

League-leading Eagles start hot at SWCC Eighth-ranked Kirkwood

stayed undefeated in con-ference play with a 66-46 victory over Southwestern women here Saturday.

The Eagles improved to 17-4 overall and 5-0 in IC-CAC Division II play, one game in front of NIACC and Southeastern. The 10th-ranked NIACC team (14-4, 4-1) visits Southwestern in a 5:30 p.m. game Wednesday as the Spartans’ gauntlet of rated opponents continues.

“They outlasted us in the end. They have a lot of depth,” said SWCC coach Addae Houston, after Sat-urday’s loss to Kirkwood. “They jumped on us early. Then we calmed down and started playing well. Jill Vanderhoof shot the ball

well, and J o r d a n W i l l i am-son played outstand-ing with 12 points and eight steals.”

T h e Spartans were within nine points at halftime, 38-29, af-ter falling behind 16-4 in the opening minutes.

Southwestern travels to Iowa Lakes of Estherville Saturday after Wednesday’s home encounter with NI-ACC.

PANTHERS:


Iowa Conference with the win, remained unbeaten in conference play at 11-0.

Peyton Pedersen led Cen-tral Decatur with 21 points. Nick Durell scored 12 and Aaron Linhart and Boothe each finished with nine points.

Burmeister said it was good to see his team force some turnovers with its press, lead-ing to baskets at the other end.

“I thought the press was better tonight,” he said. “It was good to see us get some points off turnovers. We got a few fast break buckets. That’s kind of what we’ve been miss-ing on our scoring is points from turnovers and points from fast breaks. They had a little concern with our press. That was good to see again, because our press hasn’t been bothering people lately.”

Nodaway Valley, 10-4 over-all and 8-3 in POI play, returns to action tonight at Southwest Valley.
